From LeBuzz's site ( [url]http://www.lebuzz.com[/url] ) comes the following (very) interesting bit of news.
There's an effort, lead by Frans van Nispen of Xentronix, to develop a new audio API for BeOS/OBOS. A real time API which would allow for every audio app written to support it.
This is just a small quote from their site:

As you all know, support is very important for BeOS/OBOS. It is the most powerfull platform for audio.
I have been working to get as much support from 3th parties as possible to make OpenBeOS an accepted media choice and with some success.
(...)
This means, we want a plugin API that can be used by any BeOS/OBOS developer to add plugin support to their audio application. We want this to be a standard for BeOS.
To even make this more exciting, Sonic Timeworks is concidering to port their plugins to BeOS if we can meet these goals and add their 2$ to the design.

This is very good news not only for audiophiles out there, but for BeOS/OBOS in general.
Head over to Dane "Buzz" Scott's site and read the entire piece, which has a link to the discussion group.
